Solid crank. It is a little on the heavy side but is easy to install and should provide dependable service for many miles of ridding.

Review of Vuelta Corsa Pro Crankset
I got this to replace my old cotter pin crankset on my 70's road bike, this crankset and my new bottom bracket installed easily and I have been loving it since.

Reviews of Wheels Manufacturing 3/16 x 7 Ball Retainer (Bag of 10)
Even though this was a size to big for the bike I was replacing bearings on, I plan on using them on another bike I have. They are really heavy duty and seem like they will last a long time. Great price as well. Thank You.Worked great on my old school road bike... Rolls real nice.. Ive had them in almost a year and they are still rolling...

Best Surco BT300 Spare Tire Rack Deals
I recently bought this rack to fit on our 2004 Toyota RAV-4. It installs pretty easily you have to take the spare tire off to mount it, and the first install can take up to 45 minutes when fiddling with the spare. But I especially like that I can keep the mounting hardware connected and still replace the tire cover. That way each time we travel we only need to slip off the tire cover and attach the main rack (what you see in the photo).
The bikes secure like a sandwich the top piece which secures the bike frames to the rack comes with two securing bolts, one of which is lockable (key included). Which is nice if you want to stop for something to eat (or some other errand) on the way back from your ride.
The bikes felt very secure during our drive on the highway.
Security is two-fold: 1) the bike rack itself can be locked down (using the padlock of your choice we use a secure, hard-to-cut padlock) and 2) the bikes can be locked onto the rack with the supplied locking bolt. (Only 1 key is included for the locking bolt, which I thought was an error so called Surco who'll send a spare at $5 each; we opted to get a 2nd one made through a locksmith which also cost $5.)
This rack installed with no problem and is SOLID -the bikes don't budge once tightened down into the rubber-padded wedges between two plates. While the two bolts do take a while to fully tighten or loosen to remove the top plate it's also possible (if only 1 or 2 bikes are on the rack) to just loosen the bolts enough to slip the bike frame to or from the inner or outer wedges, and lift the bike through and off of the bike rack.
I also like that the rack is easy to remove while keeping the rack plate bolted behind the tire AND the spare tire cover fits (without having to remove that plate bolted behind tire).
Lastly, because CRV spare tire is off-center, when loading 2 or 3 large bikes, one or two may extend past the side of the car a bit, but that hasn't been a problem (other than maybe causing some drag, but not bad). Most important is that the bikes are SOLID and SECURE. We highly recommend this bike rack.
solid and secure no jiggling or shaking like the ones that insert into the hitch and are not snug.
can fit 3 bikes
has locking mechanism
no worries about getting in the way of the tailgate opening
Cons:
the screw-down mechanism for securing the bikes is not as quick as a strap-down model but there's a real sense of security with this mechanism
my first one had a little rust, we'll see how this one fares.
All in all, I think this is the best set-up for folks with spare-tires on the back.

We sought a spare tire bike rack to use with our '05 Honda CRV and this rack fits the bill par excellence! This rack works great. It's solid, easy to install, and includes lock-down security which is a real plus. The rear gate also readily opens and closes when bikes are on the rack.Security is two-fold: 1) the bike rack itself can be locked down (using the padlock of your choice we use a secure, hard-to-cut padlock) and 2) the bikes can be locked onto the rack with the supplied locking bolt.

I just completed a 500 mile trip to Maine with three bikes on this rack. It was attached to my CR-V. We encountered all types of road surfaces from high speed highway to dirt roads and the rack preformed very well. The bikes (two mountian and one kids) were held firm and without any sway or wobble. To mount and dismount the rack was a piece of cake. The only thing I had to do was purchase a conversion tube for my daughter's bike as it is of the modern kids style that has a large frame tube.Honest reviews on Surco BT300 Spare Tire Rack
This is my second Surco Spare Tire rack had a Jeep about 10 years ago and loved the one I bought then. Now I have another Wrangler and just got a new BT300. Both were excellent. The pros:solid and secure no jiggling or shaking like the ones that insert into the hitch and are not snug.

I bought this for my 2005 Toyota RAV4. Like the other reviewers stated, this is easy to install. It is solid, and I love the fact that there is a key to lock the top bar down. When the weather turns bad it will be easy to remove post and put the tire cover back on. Two thumbs up!Monday, February 10, 2014

After much research I purchased the wee ride trike over other higher priced trikes for these reasons, has the option to lock front tire, has foot rests without having to purchase seperate, and looks. I have been very satisfied with the trike. my son loves it and we always get compliments and people asking where we purchased it. My son is able to steer himself with me pushing but it also has ability to lock front wheel. In order to turn you must push down on handle lifting front of trike but is not a big deal to me. For the price i was very happy. Wheels are not rubber but condensed foam material but has seemed to hold up well. We live on gravel and he rides in rock/gravel all the time with very little wear noticed.Best Deals for Kent Wee Ride Convertible Tricycle
Bought 2 for my 11 month old twins, they love them and will be able to use them for years. The only thing my husband and I were a little disappointed with were the wheels which we thought were rubber but are actually a dense foam. Not sure how they will hold up over the years but so far so good.Monday, December 2, 2013

Wow, I wanted a high end pump and was looking for positive reviews, but could not find someone happy with what they spent for the quality of a pump they received. To make a long story short, I gave up and bought this pump. It exceeded my expectations in every way! Love the no hassle clamp, no switching and fit my short stem prestas! Wow was I happy!!! Love everything about this pump, especially the price... fyi this is my first review and I shop online for years! buy it!

Maybe it is because I have always used hand pumps or gone to the gas station to fill bike tires, but this pump is so easy to use, it is ridiculous. I have topped off my road bike, completely filled the flat tires on my mountain bike and filled my 5 year olds bike tires with little to no effort.Best Deals for Avenir AirSource 2X Floor Pump
This is a great bicycle pump and replaces the previous one I've had for about 12 years. It's very sturdy, easy to use with less effort than the one it replaces. I especially like the large easy to read dial that it has.Honest reviews on Avenir AirSource 2X Floor Pump
Well made, sturdy. Handles road bike tires with ease. Fairly priced and beats the heck out of what we can find locally in the stores.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Avenir AirSource 2X Floor Pump
After reading all the great reviews, I was surprised to find out that this pump is hardly a usable pump. Granted the item looked like it was returned or used. Just like any chain, its strength is only as good as the weakest link and this pump has one major weak link. The universal head screws into the hose and both the hose part and the head part are plastic. I was not able to inflate a tire because the head (the part that connects to the valve) automatically came of the air hose. I tried to find a locking mechanism, but no go. I am sending it back and will be looking at other brands.Monday, November 11, 2013
SRAM Force GXP Crankset - No Cups Review
Ridiculously great price on this super stiff and lightweight crank. Took over a pound and half off my cross bike over the crank it replaced. Could not be happier, especially at this price!
